DB_CHANNEL-&gt;send_msg(DB_CHANNEL *channel, DBT *msg, u_int32_t nmsg,

<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_CHANNEL-&gt;send_msg()</code> method sends a
message on the message channel. The message is sent asynchronously;
the method does not wait for a response before returning. This
method usually completes quickly because it only waits for the
local TCP implementation to accept the bytes into its network data
buffer. However, this message could block briefly for longer
messages, and/or if the network data buffer is nearly full. This
method could even block indefinitely if the remote site is slow to
read.
</p>
<p>
If you want to block while waiting for a response from a remote
site, use the
<a class="xref" href="dbchannel_send_request.html" title="DB_CHANNEL-&gt;send_request()">DB_CHANNEL-&gt;send_request()</a>
method instead of this method.
</p>
<p>
The message sent by this method is received and handled at
remote sites using a message dispatch callback, which is configured
using the <a class="xref" href="repmgr_msg_dispatch.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_msg_dispatch()">DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_msg_dispatch()</a>
method. Note that the DB_CHANNEL-&gt;send_msg() method may be used
within the the message dispatch callback on the remote site to send
a response or acknowledgement for messages that it receives and is
handling.
</p>
<p>
This method may be used on channels opened to any destination (see
the <a class="xref" href="repmgr_channel.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_channel()">DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_channel()</a>
method for a list of potential destinations).
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_CHANNEL-&gt;send_msg()</code> <span>
